Weather Briefing
VFRCastroville Municipal Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 13 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 13-knot crosswind component (gusting to 21 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 6500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
